Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado
Substitute 'Ligue Djá: O Lendário Walter Mercado' with 'Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado'. Translate the following text into US English: 'Ligue Djá: O Lendário Walter Mercado' has the smell, texture, and look typical of the 1980s. And that couldn't be better. After all, astrologer Walter Mercado—known in Brazil for his catchphrase "ligue já!"—couldn't be more representative of that decade, lost in the memory of many. The dazzling look, the excess of shine, the androgynous appearance, the hair full of lacquer and with a striking mahogany color. All this helped the success of the Puerto Rican, who spent hours and hours on television talking about signs and predictions. In this film by Cristina Costantini and Kareem Tabsch, released exclusively on Netflix, the astrologer's secrets are revealed with delicacy and depth, such as Mercado's sexuality and the reasons for his sudden disappearance from TV, right at the height of his career. All this illustrated with interviews with the star, who died in 2019, illustrations inspired by tarot cards, wonderful archive images and interviews with people who were part (directly and indirectly) of the life of this charming "Latin wizard".
Documentary
The Falling Sky
Documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and their struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.
Edita
Edita - Receiving a special mention from the jury at the FICIQQ, Chile, in 2022, this biographical documentary delves into the life of a rebel, feminist and single mother, whose story had been hidden by both her family and official history. It tells the intriguing story of Edita, a Trotskyist woman, Bauhaus student and persecuted by Nazism, in the context of the military dictatorship in Chile during the 1980s.
What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem
A documentary that explores how the internet has progressed from the promise of democratic knowledge and innocent entertainment to a breeding ground for misinformation and even violence that spills over into the real world. The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem traces the path from the social network 4Chan and builds its genealogy up to Facebook and the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States. It doesn't present reflections that aren't obvious to those who have read books or watched other films about the impact of social media, but it's a good starting point to learn about how misinformation works on the internet.
